I am ready to spend more than I ever though I would on a keyboard. I don't care so much about RGB or lighting at all to be honest, I am all about quality.
What do you all think? Leopold FC900R PD or IKBC MF108 V.2?

Definitely NOT IKBC,

Yeah, LED lighting in any mech keyboards is pretty much ****. I guarantee the PWM flicker is not addressed, so that means they look like they flicker in your periphery as you move your eyes.
If RGB is a "main" feature they are marketing then beware. Keycaps being PBT, like on Leopold's board, is a sign of quality. RGB lighting is lipstick on a pig more often than not.
Part of me wants to punch many Youtuber tech channel salespersons since they promote crap RGB components all the time, especially in keyboards where they mostly have no good taste, like Jayztwocents and Linus

Leopold is known to be great quality, I don't think you'd have any regrets if you picked it up.

I was set on Leopold. But the all aluminum chassis of the MF108 is super tempting. Over 5lbs! But on the other hand the MF108 it's perma-tilted so the lack of adjustability could be a downside.
I'd rather have the keycaps of the Leopold and I'd rather have the frame of the MF108... Are solid aluminum chassis as awesome as they look/sound?

It's a fad item..
It's the same as omega yo-yos and fidgit spinners..
Only it's specific to keyboard collectors..
